Lively says most of Reynolds' stories about his two daughters, like burying 2-year-old James in the sand, don't ever happen.

"He may as well work for the Enquirer," Lively tells Glamour. "When he says 'my daughter,' he's never, ever talking about her. Everything is a completely made-up scenario."

"He'll run them by me sometimes just to make me laugh. But oh, I'm so in love with him when he writes that stuff. I mean, I'm in love with him most of the time, but especially with that."

"I said, 'Most of the time,' because if I say, 'I'm so in love with him all the time,' then you get that eye-rolling, 'Oh, her life is so great, she's so perfect.' So it's, like, my defense mechanism."
